An exploration of nontraditional space

My main concern is space, but not in the more formal terms that are generally dealt with in an art context. I am concerned with space in a way that relates more directly to people and their feelings about themselves and their environment. These I define as psychic space, ritual space, psychological space, interpersonal space and territorial space. These spaces, usually defined by our own self-imposed limitations, are dependent on our personal vision of the world; the boundaries of our consciousness being no larger than we allow. I am interested in exploring these edges of consciousness to find ways of expanding them. This has required probing into areas that would be more easily avoided, the inner most spaces of the self that become blocked with fear, superstition and inhibition. These blocks are accumulations of learned responses to what life deals us and like all vicious cycles the cause leads to the response and the response leads back to the cause. The door out of this constricting space actually leads deeper in the mind to those inner spaces which are being enough for it to lose its importance??? (See more in text
